[Ingo Petzke]

What about the „Black“-series by Aldo Tambellini? Particularly Black-TV?

Hello frameworkers,

 

We are doing a research on films and videos related to a general theme: "a certain darkness".

 

We have done a list with completely dark films like the one created by Maurice Lemaitre named Song of Rio Jim (1978) but we also want to add some other films (documentary, fiction, etc) where the obscurity works as a metaphor or as an autoreflexive analysis.

 

Here are two known examples by Chris Marker and Woody Allen:

 

Sans Soleil (1983) Chris Marker

“The first image he told me about was of three children on a road in Iceland, in 1965. He said that for him it was the image of happiness and also that he had tried several times to link it to other images, but it never worked. He wrote me: one day I'll have to put it all alone at the beginning of a film with a long piece of black leader; if they don't see happiness in the picture, at least they'll see the black.” 

 

  

 

The Rose Purple of Cairo (1984) Woody Allen

“Don’t turn the projector off. No, no. It’s getting black and we disappear.You don’t understant what is to disappear, to be nothing to be annihilated. Don’t turn the projector off.” 

 



Do you have some ideas behind this issue?

 

Some other suggestions or examples will be appreciated.

 

Thank you very much,

 

Albert
